Phishing Email Summary

This phishing email seeks to trick people into following a link to a fake U-M Office 365 page. The email and the page have fake or stolen U-M branding on them to try to look more convincing. The email tries to further convince people to follow the links by claiming to have information about changes in operations due to COVID-19.

Always check the URL before logging in. While images and branding can be faked or stolen, a check of the sites URL will tell you quickly that the site is a fake. The real U-M weblogin site is https://weblogin.umich.edu . If you have already authenticated, going to weblogin should redirect you to Wolverine Access.
